Du Feifei pressed her lips tightly, her gaze cold as she looked at Princess Consort Li, who walked in from outside the door, and snorted disdainfully: "What are you here for?"
"Nothing, just to take a look."
Lady Li smiled and crouched down, her eyes coldly scrutinizing the disheveled woman before her.
"Du Feifei, do you know? The fate of the General Manor and the Pri Minister’s Mansion today, it’s all your doing. Of all people you could have helped, you chose to help that woman! You not only imprisoned yourself but dragged others down with you..."
Du Feifei snorted again and turned her head, refusing to spare Lady Li another glance.
But Lady Li did not relent, her mocking voice ca from above...
"That woman, who knows where she’s hiding now. In contrast, tomorrow is your day of execution! Hahaha, you probably don’t know, do you? His Majesty has changed the decree, and tomorrow at noon, you will face the fire punishnt!"
Obviously, Du Feifei’s body trembled a little but soon regained her composure...
"If there’s nothing else, you can leave. This cell cannot afford to welco the illustrious presence of Lady Li."
Lady Li lowered her eyes slightly, a gleam flashing through them as she took a deep breath.
"Du Feifei, I originally intended to plead with His Majesty on your behalf, but such an attitude, well, don’t bla for not saving you. Enjoy your last night here."
After speaking, she gave Du Feifei one last glance and turned to leave the cell, quickly disappearing from her sight...
Gazing at that vanished figure, Du Feifei’s face turned pale, a bitter smile on her features.
After tomorrow, perhaps, she would never see him again...
And at this final mont, her thoughts remained with that man...
"What do you want to do?"
Outside the Seventh Prince Mansion, You Xi had just intended to step out but was blocked by a group of people, prompting his sudden anger: "Who gave you permission to block this prince."
"Seventh Prince, this is His Majesty’s order, you are not allowed to take a single step out..."
The guard’s spear barred the entrance, his face expressionless as he spoke.
"You all..."
You Qi’s face turned livid with rage, he flicked his sleeves furiously and turned back into the courtyard.
It was then that a respectful voice ca from the doorway: "Princess Consort Li."
"I ca to see the Seventh Prince, this is His Majesty’s token."
With a slight smile on her lips, Lady Li raised her hand, a pass token appearing in her jade-like hand.
The guards at the gate exchanged a glance and let her in.
"Princess Consort Li, please co in."
"Alright."
Lady Li put away the token and said, "Stay here, I’ll just say a few words to the Seventh Prince and then leave..."
"Yes, Princess Consort Li."
...
In the courtyard, maple leaves drifted down, casting a golden hue on the ground.
The young man sat angrily in the pavilion, clad in luxurious robes, his handso face burning with anger in the sunlight.
Lady Li’s eyes seed sowhat blurred, in a daze she seed to see the young man from many years ago...
Things have changed, now she is the Demon Emperor’s consort, and he is a prince of the Demon World...
"You Xi."
Lady Li softly pressed her thin lips together and slowly walked towards the young man: "Since we parted many years ago, we’ve never really talked. How have you been?"
You Xi snorted, spoke with annoyance: "Can’t you see how I am, Princess Consort Li?"
